MJ in Business Law: Loyola's Master of Jurisprudence (M.J.) in Business Law is a two-year part time online degree program for business professionals who want to better understand the legal context of business law. MJ candidates will enjoy a curriculum focused on current real world business and legal issues. They will learn business and corporate governance law and develop the skills they need to explore and create proactive solutions within a business and regulatory context. The M.J. in Business Law courses focus generally on business and corporate governance classes. The degree is applicable to almost any public or private sector industry, as well as the not-for-profit world, and is particularly relevant in the regulatory climate in which financially focused businesses operate such as banks, broker-dealer and commodities firms, investment banks, hedge funds, private equity firms, venture capital firms and any publicly traded company.
